Q: What typically fits inside the Chanel CC Cerf Executive Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 40 x 29 x 13 cm, this tote comfortably fits everyday essentials such as a wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys, a cosmetics pouch, and A4 documents. It can also hold bulkier daily items such as a notebook or light cardigan, depending on how you organise it.
Q: Will a laptop fit inside? A: Possibly, but please measure carefully before buying. At 40 cm wide and 29 cm high, many tablets and some slim laptops may fit, but the fit depends on your device and case. For long-term care, it is best not to carry a heavy laptop in a vintage leather bag on a daily basis, as this can strain the structure.
Q: Does this item come with a shoulder strap? A: Yes. This bag includes a detachable shoulder strap, listed in the product information. The strap drop is approximately 45 cm, and the dual handles have an approximate drop of 17 cm.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: For most people, no. With an approximate strap drop of 45 cm, this style is generally better suited to shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.

It can also hold bulkier daily items such as a notebook or light cardigan, depending on how you organise it.
Q: Is this bag suitable for work or everyday use? A: Yes. The Cerf Executive style is especially popular as a structured day or work tote because it offers a polished look, practical top handles, and a detachable shoulder strap. It is ideal for daily essentials and paperwork, though we recommend avoiding consistently heavy loads to help preserve the bag’s shape over time.

Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: For most people, no. With an approximate strap drop of 45 cm, this style is generally better suited to shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear.
Q: How is the bag organised inside? A: The Cerf Executive design is known for its structured layout, which helps separate daily essentials neatly. This style typically offers a central secured section and additional compartments or pockets for better organisation, making it easier to keep work and day-to-day items in order.
Q: What condition is this particular bag in? A: It is rated Very Good overall. The exterior shows cracking on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos and condition notes carefully for the most accurate impression.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item includes the detachable shoulder strap and serial number, as listed in the product information. If an authenticity card, box, dust bag, or any other item is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for this vintage leather bag? A: Store it gently stuffed to help maintain its shape, keep it in a breathable dust bag, and avoid prolonged moisture, direct heat, and rough surfaces. Because this example already shows corner cracking, it is best to avoid overfilling and to handle the corners with extra care.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by experts using a combination of serial details, materials, hardware, stitching, and overall construction. This bag has a serial number listed for the 2000 - 2002 period, which is one element used alongside the full authenticity assessment.
